In the Thread: Transition : Driver to throat, when throat is smaller than driver
Post Subject: Transition : Driver to throat, when throat is smaller than driverPosted by jessie.dazzle on: 5/25/2006
Hello all :::: This will be my first post, and I am writing first to thank Romy and the lovely Koshka for making the results of their research available to others, and also to ask for help :::: I am something of a "New Horns Guy" (cringe !), as I am fabricating horns based largely on the information gathered from this and a couple other sites :::: In designing a lower MF horn (100 - 1000Hz) with no front (compression) chamber, I am confronted with the question of how to make the transition from a large diameter driver to a smaller diameter throat. The only examples I've seen have the driver bolted directly to a flat surface firing through a much smaller opening, with no transition. Maybe I'm wrong, but this just does not seem kosher to me... I would like to include images showing two scenarios of my work in progress, but with the new format of the site, I can't seem to find the post where I once saw instructions for loading photos :::: I will include them if I can figure it out later.
Thanks in advance,
jd*
